Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I know that crib mattresses are fire retardant, but are regular bed mattresses? I called a mattress store today and asked the guy and he said yes, and that very soon (beginning of next year) a new standard will take effect. Mattresses will have to be able to withstand a flame held to them for 30 minutes. God only knows what additional poison they will use to accomplish this. I've been researching trying to find info. on where to get mattress covers to put on all of our beds, but only come up with a cover for crib mattresses. I need help finding these covers. I am very worried because my son's (4 yr old) hair elements test shows very high antimony, arsenic and boron (all of which are in flame retardant things). If anyone can tell me where to get the covers please let me know. If I could get them at a local store that would be great, I could put them on right away. If I have to go online to get them that will work too. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
